Legal Advice for Charities in Spain and the UK
Legal advice for charities is a very specialised area of law as charities face a unique range of legal, regulatory, governance and tax issues. We represent foundations, charities and non-profit organisations, either with a common or special tax regime, across all areas, including religious entities.
Foundations provide certain tax benefits that make them a popular choice when thinking about setting up a non-profit organisation. We assist with the design and formation of foundations, tax and legal implications ensuring its correct operation and compliance with all formal requirements. Some companies might suggest collaborating with non-Government organisations (NGOs), to optimise existing tax incentives.
Areas we can provide legal and tax assistance to charities and non-profit organisations in the UK and Spain include:
- Identifying the best legal structure and formation
- Constitution, registration and closing down of charities and Spanish foundations
- Advising on legal and tax not-for-profit regimes in the UK and Spain
- Providing guidance on operations and governance to trustees and management
- Helping to liaise with key regulators and ensure compliance
